If I'm not wrong, the fireflies you mentioned is not at Desaru but in kota Tingi.

[Dalenico]

think it is at tanjong piai where you can see the fireflies...western side...most southern part of Asia continent..

There is some Travel Agent Organize Tis Trip.....Around $50 .....

 

Include Lunch and Seafood Dinner.....1 Day Tour.....

Desaru is a very straight forward drive from Singapore. Its abt 100km and 2+ hrs drive.

 

I drove there twice within 1 year liao. Thinking of going again in Oct.

 

Do visit the ostrict farm and seafood nearby.

 

U can find some details, including driving directions here.

It is near the round-about before you turn to the hotels (6km away). There are a few malay coffee shops there in a stretch of houses. Car parks in front of the houses.

Hi sorry to borrow this thread.. driving up to Desaru tonight for the first time, usually take boat the last time drove up i was 7 years old haaha..

 

Can share with me anyone, go by 2nd link or woodlands faster? do i get onto NSH? sorry abit noob.. i know how to go Malacca and KL from Tuas 2nd link cos abit idiot proof hahahaa other than that not clever so appreciate all kind souls who can help me... setting off after midnight..

 

thanks all :)

[Patrickmaniac]

woodlands is faster by the distance count coz 2nd link you need to travel up eastwards again. Need to go into Highway 3 quite soon after the customs.

Best to to check the maps (google maps) before you go.

very easy to get there.

 

hopefully you know how to get to tebrau city (route 3). from there, jsut drive straight up. road signs all the way. Follow route 92, then 90. eventually hit a roundabout, take exit 2 and go straight. Gao liao.

 

As for fireflies, dont be stupid and go with the hotel tour. it is 40rm per pax. You wait in your car, and wait for them to set off in the mini bus. follow behind. It is very near pulai desaru area, you will see 'Fireflies restaurant' and turn in all the way.... stop by the side at the end. When the boat comes to bring the tourist out the river to see the fireflies, jsut follow, grab a life jacket and board. No govt one... they dont check where you are from. Im the one that stupidly paid 80rm when on the bus, i realized i shld had drove.

 

Go for seafood at sungei rengit. It is down south along route 90. just go straight. wont miss one.

Thanks brothers for all your help

 

I lost my way... i reached Jusco Terbrau and anyway i headed in Kota Tinggi direction and then follow signs to mersing.. took us about 2.8 hours to get there... piang

 

what is the best way again? (sign board to follow)

[Zxcvb]

Get a GPS.

 

Desaru is damn easy and straightforward. In JB, just go straight (45min) and turn right (45mins), you have done 95% liao.

I did have a GPS it doesnt have Desaru per say... anyway when i came back then i found how to clock Desaru.. it has so many ways to get there that its kinda making us unsure, we went by some off roads too
